Our Program
this First Day
is presented by
France Pruitt,
Bethesda Friends Meeting
This book tells the story of a nominally Jewish Belgian family who
spent
more than four years during the Second World War as refugees in the
south of France. France was five years old when the family left
Brussels
and ten when they returned. At first, the family lived openly in a
rented farm, supporting themselves as farmers. But they eventually had
to go into hiding and were sheltered by families in the region who
risked their lives by doing so. In 2006, several members of the family
returned to the region to dedicate a granite bench in honor of the
courageous efforts of its people.
Our monthly
potluck is on the
first Sunday of each month at 6:30 PM.
This is an opportunity for fellowship among Quakers, attenders
and
fellow seekers. Bring a dish to share; family members, neighbors and
friends
are always welcome.
Note: William Penn House is an
alcohol and
tobacco free facility
William Penn House hosts groups
